I have scanned wiv avg and the virus is called worm/spybot. what is it? . does anyone know how to delete it because avg cant heal it or delete it or even contain it.thankyou

Placid fire, if you've got a question that isn't relevant to the topic at hand, make your own post. And don't reply here saying sorry or somethin, or explaining why you did what you did. If you've got something to contribute to this thread, otherwise just shut up and post elsewhere.

bosky thats a weird question man. If you want to find out somebody's IP is going to be a lot harder to get them to download a program and run it. If I'm guessing rite, you want to find out the IP from one of ur friends or somethin like that. If thats the case just do the following.

Download a free webserver, somethin small and easy to install. can't go wrong with Apache

Send ur friend an email or IM with a link to the site which would be http:// followed by ur ip (for example: http://127.0.01.)

When he clicks on the link jus read ur servers logfile an you got his IP.

thnx..im almost there...but have a few more queries.assume i go online on my pc ,and want to know the ip from say a cybercafe....i can write an app to find the ip and then email it ...is there anyway i can know automatially when i am online ..so that i can run a batch file or something..

so i have 3 tasks here:1 . detecting when an internet connection starts2 . finding the ip ( mind u,its a dial up connection )3 . sending it by email with the new ip

i can figure out 2 and 3 .what are the ways i can do 1 ?

do i need to firstly make some changes to autoexec.bat so that it runs this app at start up or is there any chance that the app can start ONLY when an internet connecion starts.

Run an IRC client on your machine (the one to find when it's online) and set it to automatically connect to irc.undergroundnews.com when an internet connection is present. Then you can connect to IRC from where you are, and lookup yourself.

There's a way in Windows to run certain programs as soon as a network connection is detected. You could also write a program that continually loads www.whatismyip.com, parses it, and sends it to you. Or contintually run ipconfig or something, and when it gives an up other than 127.0.0.1, send it to you.

visage (shad0an) wrote a tool that constantly checks for ping responses from google. I'm not sure if the source is included in the jar file, it might be, or you could just get a decompiler to look at the source. I'm sure he'll give it away too, if you just ask him. So then you can modify it to do what you want. Right now it pings and if there's no response, it pops up a message. You'd want to change it so that it pings, and if there is a response, you do something. It's all written in Java.

by the sounds of things you want what sub 7 does.. a lame lil tool to give you the new ip address of sum1 when they connect.. the best way to do this is A)write a tool that use the w32api refrence to check for an internet connection.. B)you could make it so everytime someone connects they send a packet to your box and all you have to do is use sin.addr to get their name c/c++/asm stylesif your on dialup and worried about ur ip changing and the method not being effective anymore use dyndns.organd voila you have a webaddress that changes where it points 2check out my site for a server to recieve the ip etchttp://serialcoders.sytes.net/bknight/non-blocking bind is what ur looking for

this turned out to b better than i thought...java shud be fine...although i will try out the VB version as BK said... gee i didnt think this is how RAS's work to get the ip !who saw that coming ...hmmmm,quite an educational post 4 me...will b working on it now ,shud keep me busy for looooong time. (nope not to work on my own sub7 )gr8 2 B here guys,thnx to all of u...pergesu ,BK and visage ......where ever u are

i got the VB code to find the internet detection from SR as well for those innnnterested .

People here think I'm a Java zealot...but I'll just tell you what I know. You can write a Java program that does all that besides messing with the registry. It'll run on Windows, linux, mac, whatever you want, without modification.

The same is true for C++, though you'll have to change it around quite a bit. Some libraries are different on Windows and linux. You can use winpcap, I think, for OS independant socket use. Google for winpcap, or ask SR. You'll have to compile binaries for each OS that you want to run it on. That's not too hard though.

winpcap is for packet capture winsock is for windows socketsYou dont need a nice gui.. you can just get a resource editor and use masm32 hehe :p but yeah just use vc++ for c++ gui etcand linux si totally different for gui.. u will need to use gtk or ruby or wish many others to make your gui and you will have to change some code as well
